Frequently, manufacturing managers are forced to examine their working plans, and ask themselves tough questions, such as:
• Are you confident your overtime hours are being used only to expand the capacity of a workforce that is otherwise fully utilized?
• Do you have work in progress, finished goods inventory, higher than usual premium shipping costs, or late deliveries?
• Are you trying to control labor costs, but are finding costs consistently creeping up?
